Registration Fee

There is a registration fee of $100 to attend the 13th Annual CCSM Workshop, payable by credit card during the on-line registration process. (This fee is waived for CGD staff and CCSM committee members.)

Poster Session

There will be a formal poster session on Tuesday, 17 June 2008 at 11:00 am. Please be available at that time for comments and questions regarding your poster. Posters will be available for viewing for the remainder of the workshop. Posters must fit in a 4' x 4' space. You may mount your poster with push pins that will be provided. You will have an opportunity to enter your title, authors, and a brief abstract in the on-line registration.

Travel Assistance

We have a limited number of funds to assist those who would not otherwise be able to attend the workshop. This usually includes ground transportation and lodging. Please request travel assistance in the on-line registration. Those who have requested travel assistance will be notified of their status in early May.

Location

The town of Breckenridge has a lot to offer - a beautiful mountain setting, variety of restaurants, shopping, golf, hiking, 4-wheeling, horseback riding, kayaking, hot air balloon rides, and several spas, to name just some of the highlights. We think you'll enjoy your free time.

The workshop will be held at The Village at Breckenridge. The majority of our sessions will be held in the Liftside Inn Building. Final locations will be available on the agenda closer to meeting time.

Lodging and Ground Transportation

Most participants will fly into Denver International Airport on June 16th and fly out on June 19th. Ground transportation between DIA and the workshop site is available through Colorado Mountain Express; instructions for making reservations will follow your on-line registration. Lodging will be provided by the Village at Breckenridge; instructions for making reservations for lodging will also be sent out following your on-line registration.

Participants who have requested travel assistance or whose travel is otherwise covered by CCSM should not make travel arrangements until they have received confirmation of their acceptance to the workshop by e-mail.

Cancellations

Please let us know asap about cancellations. Registration fees cannot be refunded after May 15, 2008.

Miscellaneous

We are not able to provide interpreters for international participants. Some participants may wish to bring their families along. We will do our best to accommodate these requests. Any special needs may also be indicated during the registration process.
